Personalised Mobile Pain Diary
The Android practical assignment aims towards building a mobile and distributed, personalised pain
diary application that enables individuals to record their pain experience and related factors such as
their pain intensity level, pain location, physical activities (or number of steps taken daily) and mood.
It allows users to view daily, weekly and monthly reports and monitor their health and progress. These
reports can help the individual as well as their doctor to better understand their condition and the
relationships between the environmental variables such as their pain intensity and weather.
The mobile app will interact with the public web APIs to retrieve relevant
and useful information.
The assignment MUST be implemented in Android Studio 11.
Task 1 Sign in and Sign up (10 marks):
Basic level (5 marks)
a) The sign-in screen (one screen) enables existing users to sign in AND a button to navigate to the

The sign-in screen will allow existing users to enter their username (email) and password to login.
The sign-up (register) screen will allow a new user to enter an email and a password and then
click on a Sign up/Register button. After the user is successfully registered, they can be directed to
the sign-in screen to login using their registered email and password. Data entry validation and error
messages should be implemented where necessary. (3 marks)

design guidelines and two form guidelines (refer to the mobile user interface lecture). (2 marks)
